Chapter 222 A Slap
"Yeah, what the guy said was harsh, but it's true. Sylvia probably wouldn't even look at Cyril with her status. If she was interested, she would've shown it by now. Now that she's about to become the heir to Ivan Group, this news will probably spread soon. Cyril wanting to pursue Sylvia and win her back at this point? That's just wishful thinking. Normal people wouldn't consider getting back with Cyril, especially now."
The main goal for Cyril now must be inheriting the company. But during this time, Cyril will face more obstacles, like Miles.
Jonathan looked at Cyril expressionlessly, reluctant to crush him but had to speak the truth. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Firstly, you need to understand one thing: you two are divorced, and Sylvia has no feelings for you. Secondly, you have a powerful rival in Miles. Any sane person would choose him over you. It's not that I'm not on your side, but that's just how it is."
Of course, Jonathan didn't want Cyril to pursue Sylvia again. If they got back together, Cyril would have to deal with Sylvia's conflicts, which wouldn't be easy.
There's another possibility: Cyril might choose to help Sylvia without hesitation since it's hard to win her back. But Sylvia won't agree to Cyril.
"You should know Sylvia won't agree to you. Why bother? You're just trying to make yourself feel better. Waiting until her identity is exposed to pursue her? She'll definitely think you're after her status. And Sylvia's friends all dislike you. Not to mention, you haven't even sorted things out with her brother, Bruce."
It's wishful thinking to believe that just saying you want to win someone back will make it happen. Why didn't Cyril do anything earlier? Can't he see Bruce's attitude?
"Forget it, if you want to pursue her, go ahead. But you won't succeed. It's not me discouraging you; it's the reality. Sylvia's attitude today should be clear enough."
Cyril's subordinates are not fools; they can see Sylvia's attitude. Cyril feels even more upset because he knows if he tries to reconcile with Sylvia now, his family won't object, but Sylvia will.
With everything that happened to Sylvia before, she definitely won't agree to reconcile. Cyril knows this, but he can't accept it.
"Forget it, think it over yourself. If I were Sylvia, I wouldn't look back. It's not that I'm not on your side, it's just the truth. Let's go, I heard Sylvia and Miles are having dinner together. You need to understand your situation first."
Though Jonathan didn't want to help Cyril, he still understood Sylvia's recent attitude. He didn't want to provoke Sylvia and bring trouble upon himself.
When Miles appeared, Cyril couldn't sit still and immediately stood up, forgetting about the company's matters.
Jonathan was surprised to see Cyril so agitated. He had never seen Cyril so upset before, especially over Sylvia. But it wasn't entirely unexpected. After all, he wanted to win Sylvia back and had to first understand his rival.

As they arrived at the restaurant, Cyril's expression turned sour. The reason? The restaurant was a couples' spot, and inside, they saw Miles and Sylvia.
Jonathan awkwardly scratched his nose. He didn't realize Sylvia and Miles would come here for dinner. If he knew they chose a romantic spot, he wouldn't have brought Cyril.
"Should we reconsider and not go over?"
Before Jonathan could finish, Cyril rushed over as if he had discovered something significant. He hadn't realized what was happening when he saw Bonnie with a hand on her face, looking at Sylvia in disbelief, seemingly unable to believe Sylvia had hit her.
Cyril went over to Bonnie, who felt relieved when she saw her brother and sought refuge in him.
"What's so great about you? People outside think you're so amazing, yet here you are, chasing after my brother and now another man. How come I never realized you're such a disgusting person?"
Bonnie saw her brother approaching from afar and felt proud of herself.
But when Cyril saw his sister here, he knew trouble was brewing. Sure enough, she had caused trouble again. He wanted to win Sylvia back, but how could he manage that when he couldn't even handle family matters?
